Donovan Checks Back the Nut Straight
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Nearly 100,000 was already in the middle as Dawid Chmiel, Fabian Donovan, and Tim Chung went to the turn on a board of J♥10♠9♥K♥.
Donovan then bet 55,000 from the cutoff and Chung, standing up and propping up his knee on his seat, tanked for a minute before calling. Chmiel quickly mucked.
The river came the 2♣ and Chung checked over to Donovan, who this time checked back and turned over A♦Q♣ for the straight. Chung spent a moment studying the board before releasing his hand.
